The Certified Pre-Owned Explore Scientific ED80 Essential Series is a compact, high-performance air-spaced triplet refractor designed for serious stargazers and aspiring astrophotographers. With genuine HOYA FCD1 ED glass and diffraction-limited optics, this apochromatic telescope delivers brilliant, high-contrast images of everything from the rugged lunar surface to the luminous detail of deep sky objects.

Its air-spaced triplet lens system, combined with proprietary EMD enhanced coatings, minimizes chromatic aberration for true-color viewing. The ED80 is lightweight and portable—ideal for spontaneous backyard sessions or as a secondary scope for guiding during astrophotography. The rugged 2" rack-and-pinion focuser includes two extension tubes for precise focusing, while the installed hybrid finder scope base allows for easy customization (finder not included).

Additional Product Information

From the Astronomy Magazine April, 2017 Review

“Then I really went nuts. Or so I thought. I switched to a 3.2mm planetary eyepiece that upped the magnification to 150x, which approached the theoretical upper limit for a 3-inch. When I gazed into the eyepiece, the four members of the Double Double showed surprisingly well, leaving me to wonder what this scope might do on a night of optimal seeing conditions. I have no doubt the ED80 can achieve its advertised resolving limit of 1.45”…. Small and portable, it’s an ideal grab-and-go telescope. It’s also extremely versatile, able to capture wide-field views spanning several degrees while also providing the high power punch to tease out lunar and planetary detail and split close double stars…".
